China’s Premier Li Qiang (R) and World Economic Forum (WEF) founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab attend the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting of the New Champions (AMNC24) in Dalian, in China’s northeastern Liaoning province, on June 25, 2024
As tensions rise between China and Western economies, China’s premier emphasizes the need to “oppose decoupling” for global economic stability. Addressing the World Economic Forum in Dalian, Premier Li Qiang urged countries to collaborate and promote trade liberalization.
The ongoing trade disputes, particularly with the European Union, highlight the challenges of balancing economic interests with political tensions. Despite tariff threats on Chinese electric vehicles, both China and the EU aim to negotiate a resolution rather than fully disconnect.
